La Ride des Belles Filles: Training schedule week 5

You probably noticed that the longer we go on with the training plan,the more specific the training sessions become. Exciting isn’t it!! Climbers legs in full progress!
As you all know, climbing with less weight is easier. That’s exactly why you can see the climber types in the peloton most often are the smaller, skinnier men and women. So if you think you should loose those few extra kilo’s or grams, the coach might have a good tip for you:

So if you like, you can add 2 sober training sessions of min 30min, max 1hour with a maximum intensity of extensive endurance, to your training plan. Next to your bottle of water, do also take a energy bar or gel. Just in case you feel like your blood sugar goes so low that you might faint. These training sessions aren’t fun, you never feel great and that’s perfectly normal. But don’t ever go to the extreme!!

Newcomers
Day 1:

30min extensive endurance = easy endurance ride

45min extensive endurance = easy endurance ride

Day 2:

3 x :
-50sec intensive endurance and the pedal frequency should be around 60 revolutions per minute (rpm) = FREEZE: put the chain on a heavy gear, stand on the pedals and focus on the power! The heart frequency isn’t that important, use those muscles!
